<p><i><font color="#000099">And I command you and your soldiers to fear
disobedience to Allaah (Ta'aala) more than you fear the enemy. If an army
fears sins more than the enemy, Allaah (Ta'aala) brings them Victory; [for]
Muslim Victory is the outcome of the disbelievers' disobediences of Allaah.
[Remember that] there is no Power except with Allaah, for they always outnumber
us and have better weapons and tools. If we become equal in disobedience
[with them], they will conquer us due to [their having] more power; and
unless we defeat them by Righteousness, we cannot defeat them by power.</font></i>
<p><i><font color="#000099">You must learn that you have some Malaa'ika
(Angels) with you to protect you and your deeds. So be careful and do not
commit any sins while you are fighting in the Way of Allaah (Ta'aala).
And never say our enemy is worse than us and that they cannot win even
if we commit sins. Many nations have suffered at the hands of others who
were less faithful, [such] as the Magi who won over the Banee Israa'il
(Children of the Prophet Israa'il: Jews) when they committed sins.</font></i>
